Freefall University Skydiving School at CSC offers a United States Parachute Association (USPA) approved training progression. Chicagoland Skydiving Center is an official USPA Training Center and Group Member dropzone. 

We have a perfect student safety record, and are proud of it. As Chicagoland's original skydive school (established in 1968), we've trained more people to skydive than any other company in the region. Become part of the CSC legacy. 

After completing Freefall U, you will have earned your USPA A license. This license allows you to skydive anywhere in the world.

Want to get Licensed ASAP? Consider an FU Skydive Camp

If you're interested in fast tracking your training, consider joining us for one of our Freefall U Skydive Camps. Skydive Camps begin with ground school and are designed for people who are able to dedicate 10 days to being on-site everyday. This really is summer camp for adults. You'll meet some amazing people and gain lifelong friendships while learning how to jump out of an airplane. Bring a tent or grab a hotel room nearby and we'll get you licensed in no time.
